Design And Implementation Of Thwarting Scan Based Attacks For Detection Of Hackings By Using Test Pattern Generation
Abstract
Hardware development of cryptographic algorithms is subject to various attacks. It has been previously
demonstrated that scan chains introduce for hardware testability open a back door to potential attacks. Scan based testing is
one of the mainly used and powerful test technique since it provides full observability and controllability of the internal
nodes of the IC. It has been previously demonstrated that scan chains introduced for hardware testability open a back door to
possible attacks. Here, we propose a scan-protection scheme that provides testing facilities both at production time and over
the course of the circuit’s life. Here the underlying principles to scan-in both input vectors and expected responses and to
compare expected and actual responses inside the circuit. Compared to regular scan tests, this technique has no impact on the
quality of the test or the model-based fault diagnosis. It entails negligible area overhead and avoids the use of an
authentication test mechanism.
